Lawrence: The Uncrowned King of Arabia by Michael Asher

Book Description

Secondhand. Very good condition. Minor wear to book edges. Remnant of old price sticker on front cover. Slight bend to tail of some pages in book middle. Otherwise interior and binding are excellent.

Lawrence was both a masochist and a misogynist, a constant creator of myths and mysteries about himself. Yet this tormented, physically unimpressive man was also one of the authentic heroes of the twentieth century.

Most biographers have been content either to glorify or to debunk. Still, Arabist and desert explorer Michael Asher has re-examined all the evidence to reveal a credible mixture of strength and weakness, self-glorification and real achievement. (back cover)
